Welcome to episode 31 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study of the Book of Jonah, covering chapter 1:8-17. The series is called “God loves your enemies.” Today, we discuss the patience of God and cover:
- The confrontation (v. 8)
- The confession (vv. 9-11)
- The counsel (vv. 12-14)
- The calm (vv. 15-16)
- The fish (v. 17)
Key takeaways:
- Our lifestyle and our verbal profession of faith must match.
- Many of us, when we sin,harden our heart, keep our back turned to God, and plunge on into even greater alienation from Him.
- Sometimes lost people act in ways that honor God more than how Christians conduct themselves.
- It is sad but true that there are some who seem to recognize the power of the Lord but refuse to receive him as Lord and Savior.
Quotable:
The Christian is not just called to give evidence—we must be evidence
Application:
- It’s not enough to live a “good” live and hope that someone will ask you about what makes you different. We need to verbally proclaim the gospel.
- Superficial solutions to the entanglements caused by our rebellion and disobedience seldom work. Repentance often requires radical action.
